Your Castle is Your Home
You know you want one.
Though the number of castles sold worldwide is minuscule compared to the overall real estate market, it has increased in recent years, thanks to the rising wealth of buyers, increased visibility–there are several castle-specific Web sites out there–and general enthusiasm for real estate.There is a surprising range of castle options to choose from these days. They can be age-old or spanking-new, in New Jersey or South Africa, and have turret-high or relatively affordable prices.
In fact, depending on the exact location, the size and the level of restoration, smaller castles can be purchased for as little as $1 million–easily the cost of a two-bedroom condo in Manhattan.
